"Is tomorrow really our last full day in Israel? I wish we could stay longer!" This was a common refrain that we heard today. What a great feeling to see how comfortable and "connected" the kids feel in Israel. In addition they have all had a really good time with their classmates and the kids from the Kadima School of Buffalo. Today we saw some great social interactions between the kids as they played and relaxed together. They have really become a nice group together.
We started our day giving the students a choice of going to different synagogues in Jerusalem. Then we came back and Ohri and Miriam had some fun activities for us before and after lunch. Our free time was spent playing cards, eating snacks and watermelon and just hanging out. Next we went to play in a big park near our hotel and then to walk around one of the original neighborhoods of Jerusalem outside of the Old City starting at the famous Windmill of Jerusalem. Dinner at the hotel was followed by Havdalah (service to end Shabbat) and then journal writing before heading off to Ben Yehudah Street for two hours of fun, food and our last shopping spree.
